Thanks for the new chapter. It helps answer some questions I've had for a while. For instance, why is the Exchequer moving so slowly and carefully if they have so much power and resources? And why is the Light winning despite their incompetence and unwillingness to change? Because Fate was forced to side with the Light, meaning that the one in a million or more chance the Light needs to win happens more often than not. The Dark loses more and more often, eventually settling into playing the very long game. Meanwhile, the Light grows increasingly arrogant and lazy; after all, if they literally can't lose, thanks to Fate, why bother trying their best or honing their skills to their fullest potential? They've become Draco Malfoy, getting away with atrocious behavior because they know Fate will bail them out in the end. I've also been wondering for a while as to how and why Lyudmila was so powerful. And I think this chapter gives us our first clue, beyond just being naturally gifted/powerful and enjoying the favors of Loki. Lyudmila states that she doesn't have anyone who cares for her. I think that she's been alone, possibly worse, for most, if not all, of her life. So she's fully embraced her role as Chaos' Champion, letting it almost completely subsume her until Chaos is all she lives for. Lyudmila is so powerful...because she has little to nothing else in her life. And if that's the case, I almost feel sorry for her. Thanks again.

All things have a weakness... there has to be SOME way to kill Lyudmila... not that I want her to die. She's far too fun.

Oh there is. And the same is true for Morgana La Fay, Alexandra, Dumbledore, Ra...no one is invincible. The problem is finding out the weakness...or create it in the first place.

Indeed, indeed. If Fate guides you to victory every time, why bother adapting to ever-changing situations or changing from what 'works'? And obviously the Exchequer took a rather different view from this succession of defeats...
